For those that don't know (and under which rock have you been living?), I crochet.
I recently bought Kim Werker's Crocheted Gifts since Isabella has a star blanket that was crocheted by a friend.
So, here's where you all come in... My design Pinterest board has colour swatches. Can you jump over there and please tell me which would be best for the princess (Margaret, age 5), which would be best for the Doctor Who obsessed child (Katharine, age 10), and which would be best for Ian and I (we have a green quilt cover and a blue and coffee quilt cover, so coordinating would be best).
Thanks, guys :)

I bought a new pattern... Olivia over at The Gingerbread Lady wrote a beautiful pattern, and I've been umming and ahhing about it for ages. I finally decided to do it, and bought the pattern so I can give it a go.
I also have a few other patterns I want to try - Annie's Attic Cathedral Rose, and several billion hat, scarf, motif based blanket, mile-a-minute patterns, and a book on its way from Interweave Crochet (there's a pattern in there that I want).
All of that should keep me busy, as well as getting the blankets I'm already working on done, and learning to knit!

I found a lovely and simple tutorial on changing an African flower into a square (which makes them much easier to join together) so I've taken it over to my hexagons. I'm working on the first one now, and to see how well it works - if it's successful, I'll post the link tonight and some images.
